One of the amazing qualities of yoga is that it feels good! Each pose helps us feel better in a specific part of our body. Certain poses, also known as asanas, build strength, while others stretch muscles. What is your favorite pose? Why?

My favorite yoga pose is the table pose because it helps strengthen my back, arms, and legs! 1/24/2010 01:05:36 pm
As a Yogi, I enjoy Tree pose as it enables one to focus and maintain concentration with ease. The posture itself calls for balance and centers the body as the eyes find a steady gaze. Focus is needed, but once achieved the mind can go blank or in to meditation. This pose is perfect for all levels as it starts simple and allows many layers to be added.

My favorite pose changes weekly as the needs of my body do! However, I always like "helicopter" (even at my age) and feel compelled to do it while waiting to board an airplane when I will be confined.
